“All together my experience on the Mountain Cycle Battery was awesome. It’s a really fun trail bike that can be adapted to many different riding styles. It held up awesome to berms, jumps, drops, even crashes, and ran flawlessly through out it all.”

Amongst other things, Crash runs a series of races in/around Bootleg Canyon, one of our favourite places to ride & home of the Interbike Dirt Demo (And spiritual home to our dearly departed friend Brent).

We’ve been proud to help Crash make these races happen, as over the last couple of years they have gained a superb reputation for fun, clean and honest racing.

We’ve attended as sponsors/exhibitors, sponsored the uplift trucks, given away prizes, and now were delighted that Crash has decided to come on board and help us out by hauling on one of our bikes.

He’s recently kicked off the cobwebs and come out of retirement to race in a select few events, including the invitational race at renowned Woodward West, where he says “the bike handled Fricken Awesome!!”

If you take a close look at the photos, you’ll notice something pretty distinctive on the mainframe, some custom hand-painted artwork that I think looks pretty darn fine…

We sometimes get asked the question “why doesn’t my bike have decals on the front frame?” Crash has answered that question; we’ve left you a blank canvas because you have to get inspired and make that bike your own!

Keep your eyes on this space, we are only days away.

Keep your eyes peeled for more!

Francesca and I are getting married this week.  We have been trying to set a date that would be of no conflict and it just would always get tossed around. So we just said the heck with it.  We will have a Big Event this spring, but we’ve decided to get married officially this week!

We met at the mountain, so we’ll get married on one too.  Sounds like the best way to do it.

It was funny when we were getting our rings .  All we had for questions is.  Would they be strong enough to takea fall or would they break from holding onto the handlebars…..

Jim & Fran, everyone at Mountain Cycle wants to wish you both a fantastic day!
